What is health reconciliation but being able to look in the mirror and acknowledge who is looking back?

HEALTH LITERACY TEST: WHEN NOT TO RUB SOME DIRT ON IT

November 18, 2021 by

Health literacy in the cardio rehab gym is pretty basic. No one saw an ad and signed up. No one quit their old gym for this new one because they didn’t want to hear another, “IT’S ALL YOU BROTHER, PUSH IT.” And the grunting and groaning that follows. On a sixty pound bench press attempt. […]

HEART HEALTH STARTER SONG LIST

September 20, 2021 by

It takes time to move from a broken heart to heart health status. Luckily there’s a soundtrack for the occasion. After spending one night in the hospital one week ago today, the first since fourth grade, I made a list up in my head. It could use some additions in comments. And a one, and […]

HEALTH REMINDER: USE YOUR HEAD

August 25, 2021 by

This health reminder comes with a little band-aide. It’s the white spot on the right. “You need to get that mole checked out.” “It’s fine.” “Just to be sure, get it checked out.” I used my head and got it checked out. What’s the big deal with keeping up with good health practices?

HEALTH ADVICE STARTS WITH TRUSTING THE SOURCE

August 2, 2021 by

When health advice comes from questionable characters, is it really advice to follow?

MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS MONTH OF MAY, 2021

May 12, 2021 by

Mental health never takes a day off, but it gets a month out of the year for more awareness. Except mental health is a harder reach. Talk to someone about it and it goes good until you hear more about their problems. Then what? It’s good to have a plan.

PUBLIC HEALTH, YOUR HEALTH, MY HEALTH, ALL AT ONCE

February 2, 2021 by

Public health was the topic of a well crafted ad calling for it to be the ‘biggest priority in the future.’ When a slick marketing man hypes his product so well, I’m interested. When health is mentioned, public health, I’m more interested. The insurance ad linked the virus vaccine today to the extended history and […]

AMERICAN STEW, A RECIPE OF HOPE AND HEALTH

January 28, 2021 by

American stew, in spite of the name, is a delicate dish with a layered flavor profile. The ingredients are common to most every country, but the preparation and cooking temperature are the biggest difference. What American stew is not, is half-baked. It’s also not for diners who eat out of cans with a plastic fork, […]

STOP LYING TO YOURSELF FOR BETTER MENTAL HEALTH

December 19, 2020 by

A request to stop lying to yourself is to stop believing what you know isn’t true. It goes beyond the private lies we enjoy telling ourselves. How long is that list? Too long to add anyone else’s baloney because we’re already loaded.

STAYING HEALTHY IN A TIME OF SICKNESS? RIDE HARD

November 26, 2020 by

Staying healthy online is a mixed bag of clickbait advice. See an interesting headline, click it, and suddenly a slideshow turns up and down the hole we go.
